Dusk Mini Quilt

2022

22cm X 25cm

“A small mat for your bedside table, adornment for your altar, or a soft landing for your keys beside the door. This mini quilt is put together just like her larger sisters but is sized to create a special soft space on a surface.” - Lisa


Materials

• Various light- and medium-weight woven cottons; including pieces recovered from duvet covers, leftovers from pandemic mask-making (recycled, natural)

• Batting (the soft insulating layer) is 100% cotton (new, natural)

• Cotton threads for sewing & quilting (new, natural)

Techniques

• Patchwork - the cutting and piecing of various fabrics and/or colours to create a pattern or image, mostly using scraps and offcuts.

• Hand-quilting - using a needle and thread to sew through all three layers of a quilt, in lines or motifs

• Hand-stitched binding - using a needle and thread to finish the binding around the edges by hand

• Designed, cut, and sewn in Dublin

Use & Care

• The Dusk Mini Quilt is machine washable, recommended at 30 degrees and max spin 800 (wool/delicates). Hang to air dry.

• The Dusk Mini Quilt is neither insulated nor waterproof, and should not be used as a placemat or coaster to protect surfaces from heat or damp. If placing a plant pot on it, please put a saucer under the pot.

• Avoid placing in direct sunlight as this causes the colours to fade and the fibres to become fragile.
